Diane\u00a0Keaton, the Oscar-winning star of \u2018Annie Hall,\u2019 \u2018The Godfather\u2019 films and \u2018Father of the Bride,\u2019 whose quirky, vibrant manner and depth made her one of the most singular actors of a generation, has died. She was 79.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

People Magazine reported Saturday that she died in California with loved ones, citing a family spokesperson. No other details were immediately available, and representatives for\u00a0Keaton\u00a0did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The unexpected news was met with shock around the world.\u00a0Keaton\u00a0was the kind of actor who helped make films iconic and timeless, from her \u201cLa-dee-da, la-dee-da\u201d phrasing as Annie Hall, bedecked in that necktie, bowler hat, vest and khakis, to her heartbreaking turn as Kay Adams, the woman unfortunate enough to join the Corleone family.<\/p>\n

Her star-making performances in the 1970s, many of which were in Woody Allen films, were not a flash in the pan either, and she would continue to charm new generations for decades thanks in part to a longstanding collaboration with filmmaker Nancy Meyers.<\/p>\n
